An Appreciation of 

The Petrified Forest of Arizona 

By CHAS. F. LUMMIS 

Author of "Some Strange Corners of Our Country," — "The Land of Poco Tiempo," 
"Pueblo Indian Folk Stories," etc. 

Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration 




"Full fathom five thy father lies; 
Of his bones are coral made; 
Those are pearls that were his eyes; 

Nothing of him that doth fade, 
But doth suffer a sea-change 
Into something rich and strange." 

— The Tempest. 
SEQUOIA in California is the oldest creature alive. It 
had measured a millennium when Christ walked the earth. 
But "that's no time at all." Ten thousand ages before 
the cedars bloomed on Lebanon, away out here in the 
Wonderland of our own Southwest, the 
"Wind, that grand old harper, smote 
His thunder-harp of pines" — • 

identical pines that are with us to this day. Not, indeed, as they 
were in that incalculable Past — for they have Put on Immortality, 
and are this side of Resurrection. They lived their green millenniums, 
and were laid to bed under the coverlet of a continent, to sleep ten 
times as long as Parasite Man has crawled upon this globe. And 
since, for as many aeons, the tireless moths of Erosion have been gnaw- 
ing away their league-thick blankets, till at last they are bared again 
to the Arizona sun — the most imperishable of earthly things, and of 
fadeless beauty; a "Forest" in Glorified Stone, its very bark and 
"rings" immortalized in agate. 

Not as that classic Munchausen of the Grand Canyon, Cap'n John 
Hance, loved to tell. "A forest of petrified trees, with petrified birds 
flying through petrified air, singing petrified songs" — but prostrate and 
unmurmuring trunks upon a stark desert bed. 

How great was once this grove of giant conifers and willow-kind, 
no man will ever know — nor how much is still buried, where ancient 
lava flows have pinned its sedimentary blankets down. Some 400,000 
acres of it are uncovered — in extent and beauty the noblest petrified 
forest in the world. Only the diamond is harder than its "wood;" 
only the opal so rainbowed. Some cosmic cataclysm mowed it down, 
orderly and at a scythe-swing. Not cyclone nor freshet — Noah's flood 
turned against it could not have felled it so fair. It is no tangle of 
windfall or flotsam. Swath by swath it fell, its lofty tops generally 
to the south. Perhaps a far vaster earthquake than later split the 
Mogollon plateau to the beginnings of the Grand Canyon was the agent.

Anyhow, before it could decay, the prostrate forest was submerged 
beneath some gentle sea, whose boiling mineral springs and slow- 
building sediments "pickled" it forever, under the inconceivable 
pressure of two vertical miles of strata — even as we pygmies today 
creosote piles and railroad ties under the inverse thrust of a vacuum. 
As agate to pine for hardness, as aeons to weeks for duration, as gems 
to mud for beauty — so was God's "pickling" to ours. 

As unhurried of the Ages, this submerged half-continent was then 
exalted from three miles below its miracle-working sea to three miles 
above it — so evenly that its stratum blankets were hardly rumpled; 
and the patient Weather began its task. Grain by slow grain, the 
sandstones resolved to sand again, and found their way to be laid 
down under later seas to form some future continent. Upon these 
one-time tropics had crept the Age of Ice; and crept back toward the 
Pole: and had been forgotten. As dwindling snow lets down a twig 
imperceptibly, so when their stone coverlet — "9000 ft. thick on the 
average" (Drake), had melted to Erosion, the great fossil logs sank 
with their sinking shales and clays. They are still a mile above the 
sea. In their subsidence they have broken their backbones squarely, 
almost into vertebrae; few sections are 20 feet long — though some trees 
were once 240 feet tall (and still so measure upon the ground) and nine 
feet diameter. A 150-foot log, the "petrified bridge," spans a ravine 
between rock piers. The glittering "chips," like fossil butterflies, pave 
hundreds of square miles, and were "the first money in America." 
Ages before Columbus, these chips of agate and chalcedony were 
prized by the First Americans — to make the best arrowheads and 
"knives" that primitive man ever fashioned. Prehistoric Indian 
pueblos, whose ruins we explore today on surviving cliffs 500 feet 
above, controlled this aboriginal "hardware shop," and bartered its 
bright spalls a thousand miles either way, for the guacamayo plumes 
of Yucatan to the bison hides of the Plains, and the shells of the 
California Gulf. 

In our own day we have sometimes sawed these logs (with the only 
harder substance, diamond-dust) into 36-inch table-tops, at $2500 
each; but it is too costly to polish commercially. One company tried 
grinding it for emery. Hundreds of these "gem" logs have been 
dynamited to get the crystals in hollow cores. I have a piece not 
three inches across; with a quartz heart, and on one side half-inch 
crystals of amethyst, and on the other their mates in smoky topaz. 
But in 1906 the Petrified Forest was made a National Monument and 
saved from the "civilized savage." The railroad traversed it in 1882; 
and it is now easy of access. North is the Black Forest, some of 
whose great stumps still stand erect, their futile roots bedded in the 
wasting clays. The Southwest Museum in Los Angeles has the unique 
terminal bud of one of those giant Sagillarias. South are the Rainbow, 
the Crystal, the Blue and other "forests" of the Forest — second only 
to the Grand Canyon as a chief / 

wonder of the Southwestern y^H^ r>-yti^ 

Wonderland. (/XO^. jT/lAAAAA^Ui^-

To the American People: 

Uncle Sam asks you to be his guest. He has prepared for you the 
choice places of this continent — places of grandeur, beauty and of 
wonder. He has built roads through the deep-cut canyons and beside 
happy streams, which will carry you into these places in comfort, and 
has provided lodgings and food in the most distant and inaccessible 
places that you might enjoy yourself and realize as little as possible 
the rigors of the pioneer traveler's life. These are for you. They are 
the playgrounds of the people. To see them is to make more hearty 
your affection and admiration for America. 




Secretary of the Interior 



Petrified Forest National Monument 




O subject is of deeper in- 
terest, to educator and casual 
tourist alike, than the history 
of the earth on which we live, 
and the wonders thereof. 
Particularly that portion which we call 
America. 

The earth itself — our own land — how 
did it first awake? In the descriptions 
that follow you will find a brief account of 
the earth-making process as revealed to 
us by a study of the Petrified Forest of 
Arizona in the light of modern scientific 
research. 

In this wonderful region you will find 
beneath turquoise skies pillars and bridges 
of agate and chalcedony and every road- 
way strewn with gems that might adorn 
the palaces of Golconda or the temples of 
Ormus. 

Long ere the pithecanthropus ex- 
changed his arboreal dwelling for a cave, 
or Noah and his family fled from a bank- 
rupt world — even ere Adam was — forests 
were growing in Arizona. In the course 
of ages some cosmic catastrophe struck 
them down and over them swept an in- 
land sea, whose sediments subsequently 



buried them a mile or more deep. Dur- 
ing these long geologic periods, the subtle 
alchemy of Nature perfected its trans- 
mutation. Riven and fractured, the 
ancient logs were again brought upward, 
and after years of erosion they were once 
more "living" under the brilliant Arizona 
skies — not as they once lived, but in a 
glowing permanent form. They are there 
today, the most brilliant aggregation of 
jewels on the globe. There are agates, 
chalcedony, jasper, onyx and opals not 
by the handful, but by the ton. 

And these beautiful mosaics lie in the 
open air, scattered over thousands of 
acres, on the great Southwestern Plateau, 
with its colorful deserts, its lofty extinct 
volcanoes whose iridescent hues are re- 
born and die each day under the magic of 
the sunlight, with its vast lava fields, its 
fascinating ruins of a prehistoric people 
and its equally interesting pueblos of 
their descendants. 

The building of the railroad first 
brought into prominence this wonderful 
natural phenomena. Many scientists 
visited the region and made reports to 
the authorities in Washington, from time

to time. Even as late as 1906, a new 
forest, the North Sigillaria, was dis- 
covered by John Muir, the noted Cali- 
fornia naturalist. 

The following letter was written in 
1899 by the acting Secretary of the 
Smithsonian Institute, in response to an 
inquiry: 

"The region in Apache County, Ari- 
zona known as the 'Petrified Forest,' 
'Chalcedony Park,' and 'Lithodendron 
(stone trees) Valley,' is of great interest 
because of the abundance of its beautiful 
petrified coniferous trees, as well as for 
its scenic features. The trees lie scattered 
about in great profusion, but none stand 
erect in their original place of growth, as 
do many in the Yellowstone National 
Park. The National Museum possesses 
three splendid trunks, collected there at 
the request of General Sherman." 

A good account of this locality by Mr. 
Geo. F. Kunz, is in part as follows: 

"Among the great American wonders 
is the silicified forest known as Chal- 
cedony Park, (now Petrified Forest Na- 
tional Monument), in Apache County, 

Page s J X 



Arizona. There is every evidence that 
the trees grew beside some inland sea. 
After falling they became water-logged, 
and during decomposition the cell struc- 
ture of the wood was entirely replaced 
by silica from sandstone in the walls 
surrounding this great sea." 

"Over the entire area, trees lie scattered 
in all conceivable positions and in frag- 
ments of all sizes, the broken sections 
sometimes resembling a pile of cart 
wheels. A phenomenon perhaps un- 
paralleled, and the most remarkable fea- 
ture of the park, is a natural bridge, 
formed by a tree of agatized wood 
spanning a canyon 60 feet in width. In 
addition to this span, fully fifty feet of 
the tree rests on one side making a 
visible length of over 100 feet." 

Dr. Walter Hough, of the Smithsonian 
Institute, writes as follows: 

"In the celebrated Petrified Forest, 
Arizona, there are ruins of several 
Indian Villages. These villages are 
small, in some cases have merely a few 
houses, but what gives them peculiar 
interest is that they are built of logs of 



beautiful fossil wood. The prehistoric 
dwellers of the land selected cylinders of 
uniform size, which were seemingly de- 
termined by the carrying strength of a 
man (or several men). It is probable 
that prehistoric builders never chose 
more beautiful stones for their habita- 
tions, than the trunks of these trees 
which flourished ages before man ap- 
peared on earth." 

"This wood agate also furnished ma- 
terial for stone hammers, arrowheads and 
knives, which are often found in ruins 
hundreds of miles from the forest. The 
'wood agate,' or 'wood opal' is now cut 
and polished into floor tiling, mantels, 
clock cases, table tops, etc. The silver 
testimonial to the French sculptor Bar- 
tholdi, made by Tiffany & Co., had for 
its base a section of this wood agate." 

As a result of the scientific investiga- 
tions and reports, the growing interest of 
the public, and to end the depredations 
of vandals, activity in Congress led at 
length to the passage of the Act of June 
8, 1906, entitled "An Act for the Preser- 
vation of American Antiquities," and to 



President Roosevelt's proclamation of 
December 8, 1906, which, under the name 
of The Petrified Forest National Monu- 
ment, placed the forest under the pro- 
tection of the Government for the 
perpetual enjoyment of the people. 
Area, 25,625 acres. 

But let us turn to the detailed descrip- 
tion of one who has made a careful, 
scientific study of the region. 

The following is from the report of 
Prof. Lester F. Ward, Paleontologist, 
U. S. Geological Survey: 

"These Petrified Forests may be prop- 
erly classed among the natural wonders 
of America, and every reasonable effort 
should be made not only to preserve them 
from destructive influences but also to 
make their existence and true character 
known to the people." 

"Some of the most important consider- 
ations that may be urged in favor of the 
importance of this region compared with 
other petrified forests rest upon its 
geological relations. It is much more 
ancient than those of the Yellowstone 
National Park, of certain parts of Wyo-

ming, and of the Calistoga deposits in 
California. The difference in their an- 
tiquity is many milHons of years. There 
is no other petrified forest in which the 
wood assumes so many varied colors, and 
it is these that present the chief attrac- 
tion for the general public. The state of 
mineralization in which much of this wood 
exists almost places them among the 
gems of precious stones. Not only are 
chalcedony, opals, and agates found 
among them, but many approach the 
condition of jasper and onyx. The 
degree of hardness attained by them is 
such that they are said to make an 
excellent quality of emery." 

"This region consists of the ruins of a 
former plain having an altitude above 
sea level of 5,700 feet. This plain has 
undergone extensive erosion to a maxi- 
mum depth of nearly 700 feet, and is cut 
into innumerable ridges, buttes, and 
small mesas, with valleys, gorges, and 
gulches between. The strata consist of 
alternating beds of clays, sandstone 
shales, and massive sandstones. The 
clays are purple, white and blue, the 



purple predominating, the white and 
blue forming bands of different thickness 
between the others, giving to the cliffs a 
lively and pleasing effect. The sand- 
stones are chiefly of a reddish brown color. 
The mesas are formed by the resistance 
of the massive sandstone layers — of 
which there are several at different 
horizons— to erosive agencies, and vary 
in size from mere capstones of small 
buttes to tables several miles in extent, 
stretching to the east and to the north- 
west." 

"The petrified logs are countless at all 
horizons and lie in the greatest profusion 
on the knolls, buttes, and spurs, and in 
the ravines and gulches, while the ground 
seems to be everywhere studded with 
gems, consisting of broken fragments of 
all shapes and sizes and exhibiting all 
the colors of the rainbow. When we 
remember that this special area is several 
square miles in extent some idea can be 
formed of the enormous quantity of this 
material that it contains." 

"The petrified logs do not occur in the 
same abundance throughout. They are

massed or collected together in groups 
or heaps at certain points, and may be 
altogether absent at others. From their 
great abundance in the above described 
section, it must be inferred that the 
stratum which holds them was especially 
rich, and the trunks must have lain in 
heaps upon one another." 

"Perhaps the most prominent of all 
the scenic features of the region is the 
well known Natural Bridge, consisting 
of a great petrified trunk of jasper and 
agate, lying across a canyon 60 feet wide 
and 20 feet deep, and forming a foot- 
bridge over which anyone may easily 
pass. The Natural Bridge, therefore, 
possesses the added interest of being in 
place, which can be said of very few of 
the other petrified logs of this region." 

A Description of the Forests' 
Divisions 

The First Forest, noted for its bright colors, 
is distant about six miles from Adamana (alti- 
tude 5,277 feet). It is easily reached in an hour 
and a half. The journey may be made in a 
leisurely fashion, starting late in the morning 
and returning at dusk, with an hour enroute for 
inspection of the Hieroglyphic Rocks and Aztec 



Ruins, and plenty of time to see the Second 
Forest, too. The chief object of interest is the 
Natural Log Bridge, which is mentioned else- 
where. The Eagle's Nest, Snow Lady and 
Dewey's Cannon are in this locality. 

The Second Forest is two and one-half miles 
due south of the first one, the trip requiring 
thirty minutes each way. It contains about 
two thousand acres. The trees are mostly intact, 
large and many of them highly colored. The 
Twin Sisters are an interesting sight here. 

The Third Forest covers a greater area than 
the others. It lies thirteen miles southwest of 
Adamana and eighteen miles southeast of Hol- 
brook. There are several hundred whole trees, 
some of them more than two hundred feet long. 
The colors are very striking, comprising every 
tint of the rainbow and therefore the local 
name of Rainbow Forest is very appropriate. 

The Blue Forest (smallest of the five), located 
seven miles east of Adamana, is one of the two 
districts discovered by John Muir. It is noted 
for the blue tints of its trees. 

The North Sigillaria Forest, a new "find", is 
nine miles north from Adamana, and contains 
many finely preserved specimens of the carbon- 
iferous period — some of the stumps still standing 
where they grew. It is located on the bottom 
and sides of a shallow canyon, with buttes and 
mesas of different colored clays and rocks. One 
fallen monarch is 147 feet long. A wide view of 
the Painted Desert may be had here and on the

way out an Indian ruin is passed. The round 
trip to either of the two last named Forests 
requires about four hours time, though if one is 
in a hurry, all the Forests except the Third may 
be visited by auto in a day's time. 

Only the First, Second and Third Forests are 
included in the Petrified Forest National Monu- 
ment. 

Costs of Trips and Hotel 
Accommodations 

Elxcept the small hotel, railway station and 
store, there are few buildings at Adamana. 
Mr. Wm. Nelson has charge of the hotel and 
livery accommodations. The hotel has sanitary 
plumbing, with hot and cold water. Board and 
lodging may be had at $3.00 per day American 
plan; thirty-five guests can be accommodated; 
in summer, tents also are provided for guests. 

The round-trip fare to the First and Second 
Forests and Natural Bridge is $5.00 for one 
person, $3.00 per capita for two persons, and 
$2.50 per capita for three or more. 

To the Third, Blue or North Sigillaria Forests 
and Painted Desert the fare is same as to the 
First and Second Forests. 

One of the most interesting trips from Adam- 
ana is northeast to Wide Ruins (Kin-Tiel), a 
Navajo trading post, built among the ruins of an 
Aztec village. On the way you pass Pinta, 
Inscription Rock, a bit of the Painted Desert 
and Tanner Springs, a big cattle and sheep 
ranch on the Navajo reservation. It is about 
three hours and a half by auto; $30.00 round 
trip for four persons or less. If desired, this 
trip may be continued farther north through 
the Navajo country. Notice in advance to 
Mr. Wm. Nelson at Adamana, Arizona, owner of 
livery, will insure proper handling of parties. 

Mr. Nelson also equips camping parties for 
the Hopi and Navajo Indian Reservations, and 
for a few days' trip into the Painted Desert. 

Holbrook, the county seat town, has satis- 
factory hotel accommodations, with prices about 
the same as at Adamana. 

The Petrified Forest may be visited any day 
in the year, except when high waters make the 
streams temporarily impassable. 

Stop- Over Arrangements 

Stop-overs are allowed at Adamana, not to 
exceed ten days, on all one-way tickets, also on 
round-trip tickets within their limits. 

Stop-overs are also allowed on Pullman 
tickets. 

To obtain stop-overs on one-way tickets, 
notify train conductor and deposit tickets with 
agent immediately after arrival; on round-trip 
tickets notify train conductor.
